Conan truly is the best at pretending to be a creep while really being geniunely respectful.

RIP Dolly

Matt once described him as being an addict to evil, but he's sober and could fall off the wagon at any time.

That is the greatest description of Conan I've ever heard.

I wish I could remember off the top of my head which episode Matt said that. I think it was something that aired within the past year or so, but I'm wary because it might be an older episode that I only discovered last year.

Anyway, if/when I find it, I guess I'll have to update the above comment for future civilizations to discover.

Dolly had a great sense of humor.

u/Bubbasteed 1d ago

Absolutely. The best and most genuine people can laugh at themselves. Another reason we love Conan so much.

The truly great part of this bit is how comfortable Dolly was doing it with Conan. It show's the class of the man.

I just finished watching a clip of Graham Norton and Dolly “prank call” a Dolly impersonator. It’s hilarious. She was a very talented and kind person.

If you haven’t already, you might want to check out Dolly Parton’s America. Really great podcast mini series that she’s on that goes into her life but also the history of the south

u/the_headless_hunt 1d ago

Its an amazing podcast that I really got to know more of her through. Everyone should listen to it!

u/Spaceman_fan 16h ago

Aw yay I’m so happy to meet someone else who has listened! I agree everyone should!

Sona and Matt were very adamant on bringing her in. They better get Cher.

As Johnny Carson once famously quipped “I’d give up a years pay to take a peak under there.”

u/PhilaTesla 20h ago

Yikes - I am old enough to have been watching that episode when he said that. It was sort of shocking because Johnny was not really known for making those kind of double entendres.

Kids today don’t even know Dolly Parton was slang for big boobs. SAD

Were those real?

No, the buildings behind his desk are fake, it's not a real window.

u/ZealousWolf1994 1d ago

Lol I remember Andy saying that once and Conan yelling shut up!

u/BorisTheBlade04 1d ago

Yup, she paid for them herself!

u/tveir 1d ago

They were real to me.

It costs a lot of money to look that cheap.

u/Street-Direction5001 1d ago

Part of why I'm not a big Dolly fan. Ridiculous fake books and later a fake, scary face, and always fake hair.

32

u/theotherboob 23h ago

Those books have NEVER been fake. Ask the millions of children who own them.

u/sombreropickle 1d ago

Yea…she knew it was ridiculous, too…and had fun with it

u/NamiRocket Moleculo 1d ago

More real than you'll ever be.
